Philly Female Flame-off 2007

  « Events Archive

(Photos of Glass Working Studios)

Philly Female Flame-off 2007 Say that 10 times fast! Well, this year's event (the second annual) was held at Philly Glassworks, and was an amazing time! With more experience came a better organized event that went smoothly and was a total blast! There were more competitors and better prizes-and two full days of torch working. Thanks to Philly Glassworks and their amazing staff, all the girls, the sponsors, and everyone who came out to watch! And thank you Glasscraft, for sponsoring my trip. I can't wait for next year!- at Revere glass in Berkeley, CA.

I have been working with glass since 1998, when I happened to get a job at Glasscraft following my newfound interest in making glass beads. Quickly, I ended my relationship with soft glass and mandrels and found borosilicate much more fun to work with. I started doing production full time in 2001, having picked up as much information as I could from random blowers and Glasscarft employees- and of course, Homer Hoyt. Today I find time to make art in between my huge production orders. I am looking forward to using my skills in different media to combine with glass for hopefully more expressive work. I feel glass art can be much more technique oriented than anything, and I am excited to see some of the more expressive works being created currently. I am inspired by the awesome works of artists, including the glass artists on this site; as well as beauty I find in nature and in music.
